Geysir, Gullfoss and Þingvellir is a must see for visitors coming for the first time to Iceland. The philosophy here is less rush in exploring the sites, and you will depart at a time where there is less traffic and fewer tourists at the sites you will visit. By going in the afternoon you will have more time and less people around to explore Iceland’s most visited attractions often called the Golden Circle of Iceland. The Þingvellir national park and a UNESCO world heritage site where the two tectonic plates are slowly drifting apart. The Geysir hot spring area has the geyser Strokkur spouting hot water up to 20 meters high every 4 – 8 minutes. The Golden waterfall is at its best in the afternoon where you might spot a rainbow forming in the mist from the waterfall in the sunshine.

During summer time we utilize the long daylight hours of the Icelandic summer and during winter we adjust to the shortened daylight hours by leaving at 12.00. Dress well and bring a fully charged camera for the golden circle Iceland.
